VERSE 1
In that dear old village church yard
There I see a mossy mound
There is were, my Mother's sleeping
In th cold an' silent ground
VERSE 2
I was young but I remember
Well th night, my Mother died
There I watched her spirit fading
When she called me to her side
VERSE 3
Say, dear darling, I must leave you
Angels voice to guide you on
Pray that we will meet in Heaven
When your Mother, is dead an' gone
VERSE 4
Plant sweet flowers on my grave
Plant sweet flowers on my grave
Promise me if you love me
Plant sweet flowers on my grave
VERSE 5
Of't times to her grave I wander
Flowers to plant with a tender care
On th grave of my dear Mother
Darkness found me weep'n there
VERSE 6
Look'in at th stars above me
Waiting for th Heavens dawn
For there's no one left to love me
Since my Mother is dead gone
VERSE 7
Plant sweet flowers on my grave
Plant sweet flowers on my grave
Promise me if you love me
Plant sweet flowers on my grave
